Match Day Thread Southampton v QPR,26/08/23,15:00 KO

Not read much action on BBC site. Doesn’t sound like an exciting match.

 

I have honestly not watched any as away with wife.
Just read we have not been any good, fair reflection?

 

They've literally just described it as an exciting half on Final Score.

 

I wonder how much QPR's Armstrong would cost? I like the look of him. Talk, quick, strong, been a handful.

 

I find it happens sometimes then just refresh the page and it finds a better connection. On Firefox.

(I have Task Manager - Performance - Ethernet open to re-assure myself of this )

 

We could be Armstrong City. Catchy.

 

Will try the Firefox route. Good shout.

 

I want at least 5 Armstrongs.

 

First match of the season I thought Manning was solid, and he's looking less and less so as the matches go by.

 

We’ve controlled the game without creating much/anything. They lump it up to a big target man when it breaks down just outside our box and it usually comes back. Rinse and repeat

 

Not hopeful of a super sub coming on, looking at the bench. No Che and Sam already on.

 

Yep, Perraud than Manning, though it was a nice pass from Manning. He's just a bit 'Championship' in his reading of the play, especially against quick turnovers.

SAA struggling to do much today. Sub appearances better for him. Maybe bring Tella on. Haha

 

Yeah they're getting a lot of joy down his side.

 

Well Perraud was signed in the PL and was solid at that level. Was always unlikely Manning was going to be better than him. Clearly he is Martins man though even though I think it’s pretty obvious Perraud is better. I expect Perraud will leave in the next week

 

No help from Edozie or Stu?

 

Stream seems to be working much better now, so we’ll be fine.

 

Where did Downes play, when he came on?

 

QPR are very 'direct', so they are countering quickly at times. Mostly we are dealing with it comfortably, but every once in a while.

 

Hopefully Mara comes on and bangs in a hat-trick.

 

Looks like Fraser is coming on soon.
